Jackal's Girl
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the 13 ghosts or their characters.
Last time: "That's okay I'll be fine now, leave us alone." He watched the orderly slowly walk out of the room and kept the door open a crack, you know just in case. I watched him used his uninjured hand to straighten up his suit and clutch his bandaged hand in pain. "I guess that you were thirsty, don't they give you anything to drink?"
"Only what I can take without them noticing." I managed to hiss, I almost had forgotten how to speak. He seemed surprised that I could speak almost normally. His expectations of me almost seemed comical. Many people around here didn't even take the time to talk.
I studied him and he seemed interested in me. I could feel his eyes study my features and he seemed confused on what to do next. I took my chances and decided to 'play' with this new toy. "Who are you?" I said and he didn't seem to hear me, he was busy looking at me. So I did my best to stand up and I repeated myself. (I hate having to repeat myself) He finally decided to notice me and smiled.
"My name is Ben Moss, I'm a lawyer sent here by Mr. Cyrus Krittacos." He suddenly found the floor appealing.
"Sent here for what exactly?"
"Why to retrieve you of course."
I was surprised and took a cautious step back while he looked confused. "Why does he want me? What do I have that he wants?" I studied him like a hawk, looking for a weakness to exploit if he became a threat.
"He wishes to extend an invitation to his home for an extended stay. Only if you want to, I mean." His smile reminded me of a serpent, readying for the strike. Then his grin became wider and his teeth showed through. "Or you can stay here if you'd like."
"Fine, but no restrictions. I'll do as I please no straight jackets, no threats, and no sedation. Do you understand?" I could tell he didn't like what I'd said.
"Give me a moment will you?" With that he walked out into the hall and I could make him out talking to his hand. 'Probably a cell phone.' He nodded a few times and I could make him out telling someone, probably Cyrus, of my demands. He nodded and started to walk back to my room. I ran and sat on the bed quickly so he wouldn't know I had been spying on him. "Sara, your demands have been noted. Cyrus agrees under one condition that cannot be disagreed or argued with." "And what would that be?" I hissed angrily. (I don't like to improvise)
"You must stay at his house in the woods and take care of it in his absence." Ben said as he pulled at an imaginary piece of lint.
"What ever just get me outta here." He looked amused and had an orderly come to escort me to his car, probably with a lot of green. It had been three months since I had seen the sky or felt the cooling breeze from the forest. I hated it in New Borehamwood and was happy to escape, even if I had to become a house sitter to a mysterious 'Cyrus Krittacos'. What a fool, thinking that his home would keep me from being free. If what Ben said was true and it was in the forest. Well I could make myself a nice home where no one would ever find me, as far away from mankind as possible. I got into his car and we drove off away from hell and into another place altogether. After an hour on the road I decided it was safe to take a nap and closed my eyes to the world, for the first time as a free girl.
"Sara it's time to wake up and meet your savior." Ben shook me awake and I nearly ripped his good hand off. He backed away slowly and waited for me to follow him. He led me to a grand glass house that looked to have strange writing on all the walls. My back was sore from the straight jacket so I had to walk along like an animal. Feeling like I was an animal marching to the slaughterhouse. I was lead into a library and asked to wait there for a minute. I growled and he just frowned and walked down the hall into the shadows.
"Hello Sara, or should I say Jackal?" A voice from behind me said. I turned around to face an older man with balding dark hair. He was wearing a cape and from my angle he looked like jack the ripper from one of my books. I tilted my head while studying him quickly.
"Sara will be fine." I said and waited for his response.
"Well Jackal's girl," He began and laughed when I growled at him. "Welcome to my home. Where you will be staying for an extended stay." He laughed again and when I didn't think it could get any stranger, he disappeared right in front of my eyes.
"Damn psychosis." I said before walking into the shadows to explore.
